Vintage 1976 Indianapolis Scarborough Peace Games Medal - Annual Event ran from 1973-2004 On January 27, 1973, Indianapolis and Scarborough officially agreed to conduct an annual multi-sport, international athletic competition. The event was named the Indianapolis/Scarborough Peace Games in honor of the Vietnam Peace Treaty which was signed that same day. The purpose of the games, held annually during the second week of August, was to promote friendship and cultural understanding between the residents of the two cities.
